Hosting University WebMatrix Module

Microsoft has released a new development tool that bridges the gap between Enterprise-level and entry-level computing. Now novice developers, small development teams, and even experienced developers new to .NET are all on a level playing field with their more seasoned Windows development counter parts.

WebMatrix is a new Web development tool from Microsoft that includes everything needed for Web site development. Included within WebMatrix is a Web server, a database, and programming frameworks – all rolled into a single, integrated experience. Using WebMatrix a Web developer is able to code, test, and deploy both ASP.NET and PHP applications side by side. WebMatrix simplifies the development process by allowing developers to start projects from open source Web applications such as WordPress or from built-in Web templates.

WebMatrix can even integrate with Visual Studio to take advantage of powerful features such as debugging and profiling. And when you’re ready for a high-volume relational database server, move your database and data from SQL Server Compact to SQL Server with just a click of the mouse.

Microsoft Hosting University includes a WebMatrix module to support this important product release. This module is dedicated to communicating the business value of WebMatrix to Microsoft’s worldwide network of SPLA Resellers.

This free development tool from Microsoft is sure to have a positive impact within the Web development community and attract a new generation of developers to the Windows Hosting platform.
